Hy,so i tried to gasp the millis function usage in codes,but i still have some doubts,can someone help me with these really simple questions:
1.millis acts as counter from when the fist function is run,if we use variable currentmillis = millis,
it just copy the current counter time in that variable,correct?
2.We can replace any delay time or run time by: currentmillis - millis >= delay time.
so in theory any time expressed by milliseconds can be replaced using that function,correct?
3.If i use period = 1 ,will it be able the cop with that small time and not break the code,so it just automatically sets period to milisecond,so i can multiply it with desired time of delay or run of some funcion or statement,correct?
it answers most of my questions but not the main one

If you set period to 1 and use that in the time now minus start time comparison it will provide a 1 millisecond timing period. No problem. No surprise there.
You can multiply the value of period by the required value but why would you ? You might as well just set it to the required period.
I assume that you understand that millis() is not a drop in replacement for delay()
